He had waited far too long for this Fire Python Tiger to appear!

He pricked up his ears and judged the rough direction from which the Fire Python Tiger's roar had come.

Lin Tianci immediately sped toward the sound of the tiger's roar!

As the leaves rustled, all signs of life instantly vanished from this area, leaving only the corpses of the Lei and Xie Families scattered across the ground to speak of the brutal battle that had just taken place!

The forest covered an enormous area, and Lin Tianci's hearing far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Even at his speed, it took him roughly ten-odd minutes of travel before he finally reached the Fire Python Tiger's location.

The Fire Python Tiger was infamous throughout Qingyang Town. An adult beast possessed combat strength comparable to a Sky Realm expert.

However, Fire Python Tigers generally lived in the Deep Mountains.

The possibility of one appearing in an enclosed place like Qingyang Town's Beast Horn Arena was nearly zero.

Only during the special period when it was giving birth could a demonic beast of such a level possibly be seen here.

Lin Tianci had no doubt that if news spread of a severely injured Fire Python Tiger giving birth in the forest, all the major forces of Qingyang Town would go wild with envy.

They would even stop this hunt to compete for the Fire Python Tiger Cub.

After all, if any faction obtained a Fire Python Tiger Cub, it was practically the same as securing a pet comparable to a Sky Realm expert!

Even after developing for so long, the Lin Family possessed only four Sky Realm experts!

It was not hard to imagine just how irresistible the Fire Python Tiger Cub was in the eyes of these factions!

Lin Tianci stopped, bent his knees slightly, and landed steadily on a tree branch.

From here, he could easily survey the entire terrain.

Ahead of him was a sparse stretch of woodland.

There were no shrubs or anything else blocking his view.

Lin Tianci looked toward that open patch.

He immediately saw dozens of figures on the clearing, each holding a different weapon.

At the head of those figures stood a tall, outstanding woman.

"Hm?" Lin Tianci frowned slightly.

That figure was naturally Xie Yingying, currently the strongest among the younger generation of the Xie Family.

As for Lei Li, he was nowhere to be seen.

"That's strange. Wasn't Lei Li supposed to be with Xie Yingying the whole time?" Lin Tianci was somewhat taken aback.

He truly could not understand what could make Lei Li give up a Fire Python Tiger Cub that was almost his for the taking.

"Could Lei Li have gone looking for me?" A guess suddenly surfaced in Lin Tianci's mind, bringing a faint smile to his lips.

At the very center of the group, Lin Tianci saw a rather enormous demonic beast.

It looked like a gigantic tiger, its body covered in fiery-red fur. Most notably, its tail coiled over its back, its tongue flickering as it stared covetously at the people around it like a python.

This demonic beast was naturally the Fire Python Tiger.

Although Lin Tianci often ventured into the Deep Mountains to seek out demonic beasts for training, this was his first time seeing a Fire Python Tiger.

However, this Fire Python Tiger was clearly in an extremely weakened state. Its once-majestic appearance now seemed feeble, and even its tiger roars carried an obvious sense of weakness.

Streams of blood flowed from the Fire Python Tiger's abdomen, staining the nearby forest floor crimson.

Clearly, the Fire Python Tiger had suffered severe injuries. Even without the Lei and Xie Families besieging it, it likely would not last much longer.

After seeing the Fire Python Tiger's condition, Lin Tianci nodded slightly, then shifted his gaze and immediately found the sight rather amusing.

Because on the other side of the forest,

he saw Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was currently lying prone atop a small slope, his clothes covered in dust.

At this moment, he was staring intently at the Fire Python Tiger in the clearing.

Clearly, Lin Dong was also deeply tempted by the Fire Python Tiger Cubs and was searching for an opportunity to fight for them.

Not far from Lin Dong, the people from Savage Blade Martial Hall were also lying in wait.

Wu Yun was currently turning his head to speak to Lin Dong.

Lin Tianci grew curious.

He then shifted slightly, moving onto a tree branch not far from Lin Dong.

With Lin Tianci's current strength, Lin Dong and the others naturally failed to notice him.

"Lin Dong, do you know where Lin Tianci went?" Wu Yun poked Lin Dong's shoulder and asked.

"I don't know. Brother Tianci separated from me shortly after we entered the forest." Lin Dong slowly shook his head.

Disappointment appeared on Wu Yun's face. "Without Lin Tianci, it will be extremely difficult for us to snatch the Fire Python Tiger."

"This time, we can only see whether luck is on our side."

Lin Dong nodded as well, but he did not look at Wu Yun. His eyes remained fixed without blinking on the steadily weakening Fire Python Tiger in the clearing.

"Lei Li isn't here right now. Let's go!" When he saw the Fire Python Tiger suddenly sweep its tail and knock back several Lei Family juniors, Wu Yun's eyes lit up.

He then charged out first.

Yet they had barely rushed into the clearing when several Lei Family prodigies with fully rounded auras charged out from the forest, directly blocking Wu Yun and the others.

Wu Yun and Lin Dong's expressions changed.

They could sense that every one of these people had reached the Body Tempering Ninth Layer!

The situation instantly slipped out of their control!

"The Lei Family truly has deep reserves." Seeing this, Lin Tianci could not help sighing.

They had far more juniors at the Body Tempering Ninth Layer than the Lin Family!

"Lin Family, Savage Blade Martial Hall, do you really take me, Xie Yingying, for a fool?" Xie Yingying immediately snorted coldly. "Since Lin Tianci isn't here, crippling the lot of you will do just as well!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several geniuses from the Lei and Xie Families immediately attacked Lin Dong and the others.

In an instant, the entire situation became precarious.

Wu Yun and the others began to think of retreating.

The enemy was this strong. Even if Lin Tianci came, they would probably still end in utter defeat!

Just as Wu Yun, Lin Dong, and the others were retreating pessimistically, they saw another figure appear in the clearing.

"How could a gathering of your Lei and Xie Families possibly be without me, Lin Tianci?"

Under countless gazes, Lin Tianci walked to the center of the clearing, neatly separating the people of the Lei and Xie Families from Lin Dong and the others.

"Lin Tianci!" Wu Yun's eyes brightened somewhat, but then dimmed again.

Given the current situation, what could Lin Tianci do even if he had arrived?
